Chapter 55 The Black Market 2
It was Jiang Qingwan's first time entering the black market to do this kind of thing, and she had no experience at all, so she was a little nervous.

Clutching her chest with a rapid heartbeat, she took a deep breath and walked cautiously into the alley, observing the movement around her at any time while walking.

But when she asked the old lady about it, the old lady warned her cautiously, saying that the black market is not safe, people are often caught, and once caught, they will be jailed, so don't go there unless you have to.

Especially now that the limelight is so tight, it is possible to be shot after being caught.

After entering the alley, most of them are yellow-faced and skinny people who walk softly, and some even look like they are about to fall down at any time.

Seeing Jiang Qingwan felt a little sad and uncomfortable.

Of course, there are also some reselling food and supplies, but they are a minority after all. It can be seen from the appearance of these reselling that they are living a good life.

Just as Jiang Qingwan was carefully observing how these people in the alley traded.

A rough and old voice sounded from behind her, "Girl, do you have food in hand?" She lowered her voice deliberately.

The sudden voice startled Jiang Qingwan, she turned her head quickly, and saw that it was a thin old woman.

Seeing that Jiang Qingwan seemed to be frightened, the old woman was a little embarrassed, and asked again awkwardly: "Girl, do you have any food in this basket that you can exchange for?"

Jiang Qingwan calmed down, nodded slightly to the old woman, deliberately changed her voice and said, "Yes, what do you want to exchange? Rice or flour?"

"Is there any coarse grain?" The old lady rubbed her hands and said falteringly.

Jiang Qingwan observed the movement around her while talking, and replied, "Yes, there are sorghum rice and cornmeal, which one do you want?"

"I want two catties of cornmeal, how much is a catty, and do I need a ticket?"

Jiang Qingwan was a little confused about the current prices, and looked at the haggard old man with a disheveled face. After thinking about it for a while, she randomly quoted a price that she thought was lower, "1 yuan per catty, is it okay? If there is a ticket Tickets are available."

When the old woman heard this, her face burst into excitement, "Only one yuan per catty?"

The old lady obviously didn't expect to be able to buy such cheap cornmeal on the black market, which was basically the same as the market price at the grain and oil station outside. Seeing Jiang Qingwan nodding her head in confirmation, she said excitedly, "Then I want 2 catties of cornmeal, and half of it will cost you a ticket. Half the money."

After speaking, he took out a cloth bag and carefully took out the ten-cent note to trade with Jiang Qingwan.

Jiang Qingwan made her first deal just like this, perhaps because she saw her carrying a large backpack that was not heavy,
Afterwards, there were several active inquiries, and she conducted several small transactions, selling 9 catties of rice and 5 catties of flour.

I also encountered some people who were short of money and really took out money or tickets, and used some jewelry to make transactions.

It is important to fill the stomach these days, who cares about these jewelry items that cannot be eaten or worn.

With these experiences, she boldly took the initiative to find those potential customers.

During the period, I met a middle-aged woman who was dressed more fashionable, and I got two big union tickets at once.

It can be seen that the family background of this middle-aged woman should be quite good. Not only did she buy fine grain flour and rice, she also bought some brown sugar and cooking oil.

After several transactions, Jiang Qingwan basically emptied the rice, grain, oil and noodles that she took out in the space before. Although the cash and bills she received were not a lot, they should be enough for her to buy some ordinary daily necessities.
